Step 1 · Market value
Likely range $115,000 – $208,000, from 8 comparable Downe sales in the past 18 months.
Step 2 · The Director's Ratio
The state's official measure of how far Downe assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $157,000 home should be assessed near $123,088.
Step 3 · Assessed value
Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $36,812 above what the ratio math suggests (29.9%).
Step 4 · The tax rate — same for every Downe home
$1.454 Schools · 50% $1.070 County · 37% $0.407 Town · 14%
